Hey 👋
@Panda789 AF is due on the 8th May, my 30th birthday is the 9th of May. So a BFP would be the ultimate gift. Everything is crossed. Both of us are on the second month. When’s AF expected for you?

@KRK05 Yay 😁 it’s our first baby too. Feeling positive and excited. I’m due AF the day after you. So we may be testing at the same time!

@MrsEmilyB Second month and 1st baby too!

@Lovebug06 hope AF isn’t too painful ( I have endo... so always dread it)

Good luck all. I hope everyone is doing ok during the lockdown. At least we’ve all found something to do 😉 lol

@Crash1d I have got everything crossed for you! This would make your birthday so special! Smile
I had the coil removed in Feb and my last period was delayed, but I think I'm due right at the start of May roughly Smile

Good luck to all other posters!

Hi all! Can I hop on? I'm ttc #1, cycle 5. I'm 4DPO. Long cycles so this is getting a bit tedious!

Hello everyone! Do you mind if I join?

This is our first month trying for #1, we weren't really trying last month but weren't trying not to if that makes sense! Hopefully lots of baby dust coming for all of us! AF due 10th May!

Please can I join too. Just started TTC although the ovulation tests is confusing me. My son is 14months old and he was a mini pill baby so never actually tried before 🤪

@Crash1d this is actually our second child, little boy is 5 years old so figured it was time for baby number 2 as I've been so broody lately! How exciting if u got a BFP for your birthday 😁 & good to have somebody to be testing around the same time with. Are u gonna test early or wait until AF due?

Hoping May is our month for all of us 😜

@babyG123 This is the same as me my 5 year old was actually conceived while I was having the injection, also had 2 miscarriages one while on the patch & the other the pill. I didnt have much luck with contraceptive so moved onto the implant for 4 years. So this is all new to me & ovulation dates etc. I ament tracking with tests though I'm just using apps for predictions as I figured il try not to get too obsessed...yet😂

babyG123 · 19/04/2020 21:52

Hopefully you'll fall easily this time then too.
Since having DS1 my cycles have been all over the place esp as I breastfed for 9 months. Hoping ovulation tracking will help to figure it out lol

@babyG123 I have this feeling that now we're TTC it wont happen. OPKs great for u then so u dont miss ovulation! I'm a regular 28 day cycle so were just DTD every 2/3 days & hope for the best 🤞🏻 when is your little ones birthday? Mines is in January....which is a horrible time for a birthday I always feel sorry for him but I've just realised if we do conceive this month baby would be due January too 😯🤦🏼‍♀️

Hello - I'm on the other May bus but would happily join here too. I'm on CD2, due to ovulate on 30th of April. This is cycle 4 trying for our first baby.

Was so convinced April would be my month and was really keen on not slipping into 2021, plus one of my best friends got pregnant last month so I'd love to be on mat leave with her... All silly but still upsetting when AF shows up!

@KRK05 that would be Sod's law! He was 1 the start of Feb and I agree summer birthdays are easier but at least they can have a joint party 🤣

KRK05 · 19/04/2020 22:16

@Juno231 Well hopefully May is your month, sending you lots of baby dust 👶 would be so special to share the experience with your best friend at the same time!

I'm on another May bus but can I join here too?

I'm CD1 - cycle 2 TTC #1

This month DP has decided he wants to go for SMEP, I was taking vitamins last month but we are ramping up our attempt. DP has just ordered a selection of vits for him and conceive plus (we already have preseed in the drawer that didn't arrive in time for last cycle but he was thinking we could alternate 😂) I'm using the cheapie opks, CB connected, BBT and about 5 apps for comparison...due to ovulate on 3rd May, so will be testing on 20th May if AF stays away 🙏 Hoping we all get our BFPs this month x

KRK05 · 19/04/2020 23:06

@MrsEmilyB just seen you are here aswell 😊we can be cycle buddies and support each other through this crazy TTC rollercoaster. P.S told DP about supps your OH is taking which spurred him on to get some ordered, cant help to add a few extra bits to the mix.

SarahTTCx · 19/04/2020 23:33

@KRK05 i'll probably test a couple of days before using a FRER, so maybe the 2nd or 3rd May. I'd love to be one of these patient people who waits to see if AF is late before wasting a test (those things aren't cheap) but unfortunately that's not me haha!

Due to ovulate tomorrow according to my app. I use OPK's and have for 3 months but I never seem to get a true positive on them, just a slightly darker line than usual. Got that darker line yesterday, so making sure we just keep BDing from then and over the next couple days.

How about you?!

KRK05 · 19/04/2020 23:44

@SarahTTCx They really aren't are they, I hadn't bought a pregnancy test for years until I did in February, I forgot his expensive they were 😂 but I am definitely gonna pick up a pack of First Response for a couple days before AF due!

I came off my implant in January, we knew we wanted baby#2 but weren't trying trying but I fell pregnant February & unfortunately it was an Ectopic 💔 I took a test before AF was due & was a positive then the following day the line was fainter then I got what I assumed was AF so I obviously never tested again I assumed I had a chemical pregnancy, but little did I know I was 7 weeks pregnant & in my right tube, was confirmed with a ClearBlue digital after a GP suggested I may be, so I was in utter shock so I think I'm gonna be crazy obsessed with testing!
